Fair Isle North lighthouse in the gloaming, Scotland

Fair Isle North Lighthouse was designed by David Alan Stevenson and first lit in 1892.

 

During the Second World War the lighthouse was bombed and some outbuildings destroyed.

 

The lighthouse was automated in 1983 and shorty afterwards the keepers' accommodation block behind the lighthouse was demolished.
